Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page
Hi Enki,
thank you so much for all the work and effort you put in this awsome guide. There are so many layers and it has such a depth. Amazing! It's my first build ever and I play it in Standard. I took my time enjoying the build, the storyline and the mechanics. Though I am not very efficient currencywise, I have more than enough by now to gear up for the endgame. I guess playing around and trying to get to know EVERYTHING has it's merrits, too. When I was still very low LVL I happened to stumble over an Unnatural Instinct. I just kept it and for three weeks I didn't even know what I had found. Since I don't need the currency I tried to integrate it into this build. After 3 hours of putting things back and forth with Path of Building I am quite frustrated. I didn't manage to find a real good slot for this mighty jewel. Any advise, hint or pointer would be highly appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your family. |

" "minions deal (10-20)% increased damage" - prefix for gloves or 24-28 hp hybrid, both are good You already have arcane surge in your storm brand setup, not worth crafting it on your weapon. "trigger socketed spell" - people put storm brand, arcane surge and culling strike or onslaught support in the dagger so you don't have to manually use storm brand. You lose some DPS, but it's more comfortable this way and you open up one extra slot on your skills panel (for vaal arc for example). Buy lvl 21 arc, it's a very good dps boost for cheap and probably just start saving money to craft endgame daggers (it's like 7-8ex each). Lab enchants: for bosses - 10% penetration or 1-160 lightning damage if you havn't killed recently, both kinda equal For gloves - doesn't matter really, you can try to get commandment of reflection - it makes a copy of your character which absorbs some damage. Also good dps upgrades: cast and attack speed gloves (12-14%), cast speed + penetration on amulet, good abyss jewels (with HP, effect of shock and lightning damage to spells) but daggers should be first I think something like that is gonna give you 29% DPS MORE, which is just insane. Two daggers - and your shaper dps jumps from 266k to 433k Last edited by blg_RealiZe on Dec 25, 2018, 3:40:40 AM

Damn. I don’t have that mod for gloves yet. And my hybrid is rank3
Been trying to improve my abyss jewel. No luck... I know about the lvl21aec. Trying to make one myself. What? 1 dagger is 29%??? That’s a hell lot. Should I make it now instead of getting watcher eye with leech? Also, double t1 penetration+chaos vs chance to do double damage. It seems u highly recommend the latter because it’s way cheaper and it’s only a 1% difference in dps? Last edited by Skrible on Dec 25, 2018, 3:50:56 AM

" probably daggers instead of watcher's if you struggle for damage. You can still sustain mana with mana leech support in your storm brand setup, it's just less comfortable. and yes, t1 penetration and 7% double damage are basicly the same, but crafting only "t1 extra chaos" with alterations is a lot easier. |

I'm spend 2k alts,10 anuls,many scor and regals..Imo good self craft, any suggestion? Last edited by Hamcioo on Dec 25, 2018, 4:12:18 AM

" Just sell it and buy other gear, there is no good way to use this jewel in this build |

" I have a lot of currency saved up right now and I am looking to upgrade my daggers but want to make sure I do the right thing before crafting. Should I go for this strategy instead of what enki has posted in the guide? Can anyone recommend one or the other? Should I go with 1 platinum kris and 1 sai or should I do 2 kris'? Also, why does enki's guide say ilvl 86, poe affix says you only need ilvl 85 for the ele to chaos damage t1, am I missing something? thank you. | |
How do you guys handle getting out of mana and not even be able to cast anything when you rely solely on watchers eye and have no mana flask?
There are a lot of situations where i get hit by something and it drains all of my mana and either the map has no regen mod or i have a dot on me at the same time preventing any regen. Even with mana flask i die a lot in those situations. | |
" what is your life/mana ratio? Your mana should be at least 40-43% of the amount of your health get this crafted mod on a ring or amulet too, you'll always have mana at least for movement skills and yes, watcher's mana leech is more than enough Last edited by blg_RealiZe on Dec 25, 2018, 7:08:57 AM

I am surprise none of you guys are going for atk speed on your daggers,i wonder if i should craft mine with multimod, i got T1 elem to chaos and T2 Atk speed (24-25%) on a yellow shaped ilvl 86 Plat kris base.
You lose dps using atk speed instead of Pen but you gain alot of mobility. |
